Article Synopsis
- A case of ventricular thrombosis linked to myocarditis from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) presented as a myocardial infarction and worsened by severe cardiogenic shock.
- The rare occurrence of intraventricular thrombus formation in ICI-related myocarditis complicates diagnosis, particularly when distinguishing it from tumor masses in cancer patients.
- Effective diagnosis requires thorough clinical assessment and advanced imaging techniques, as cardiovascular complications from ICIs, though infrequent, can have high mortality rates.
Background: Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma (IDH) is a rare life-threatening event usually complicating an acute myocardial infarction. Poor data exist about diagnosis, management, and outcome.
Case Summary: We reported a case of giant IDH managed conservatively, thanks to stable clinical status and haemodynamics, which evolved towards resorption.
Patients suffering from coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)-related interstitial pneumonia have variable outcomes, and the risk factors for a more severe course have yet to be comprehensively identified. Cohort studies have suggested that coronary artery calcium (CAC), as estimated at chest computed tomography (CT) scan, correlated with patient outcomes. However, given that the prevalence of CAC is gender- and age-dependent, the influence of baseline confounders cannot be completely excluded.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study focused on BAV efficacy and safety by analyzing the relationship between balloon size, annulus geometry (i.
